For this Badam Satti opening rule, 7♥ starts play, and later turns extend suit rows from their sevens.

Other Sevens tables use a different opening player or starting seven, so this choice belongs in the setup.

The holder of 7♥ puts it in the centre.

A player holding 7♣ may open the club row on a later turn; a player holding 9♥ cannot jump straight past the missing eight.

Opening a row and extending an existing row are different legal actions.

Before applying the Badam Satti opening rule, arrange cards by suit.

Locate sevens and the cards that depend on them so the first few choices have a clear purpose.
